Jason is sometimes thought to be Native American (his character on Power Rangers is Native American), but it is not clear if Jason actually has any Native American ancestry.

Jason’s paternal grandparents were Walter Thomas Frank (the son of Walter W. Frank and Marie Davis) and Elizabeth L. Jason’s great-grandfather Walter was born in Ohio, to German parents, August J. Frank and Emma A./E. Glinke/Glink. Marie was the daughter of Thomas H. Davis and Elizabeth “Bessie” C. McGrath.

Jason’s maternal grandmother was Olga Bernice Podgorny (the daughter of Andrzej/Andrew Anthony Podgorny and Mary Josephine Witek). Olga was born in Iowa, to Polish parents. Andrzej was from Zamieście, near Limanowa, and was the son of Matthew Podgorny and Kunegunda Biedron. Mary Josephine was from Tarnow, and was the daughter of John Witek and Agnes Shob.
